You can check out the article here for screenshots of the new Halloween content and official times/dates/information on the grand opening for The Grind: http://www.anarchy-online.com/wsp/an...&table=CONTENT

    just call into work with "swine flu again".

    otherwise, just roll an alt on the better server, and go to that party

    Also, European players will not be happy about the party being started at 10pm at night (GMT) on RK2!

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Was sooooo looking forward to being there for the club opening. But alas, it is right in the middle of the work day...

    They should just have RK1 & RK2 parties simultaneously from 1400 GMT on the 23rd to 1359 GMT on the 24th, with various GSP/ARKS/GMs/Devs/etc. popping into each server every other hour, or as time permits.

    Make it a 24 hour GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION, instead of a grand opening celebration that certain geographical locations will miss, depending on which server they mainly use & if they play during the day or night.



    P.S.: Means announced the planned date of this party a while back. Why did it take until 22 hours before it starts for the start time to be posted in the forums & launcher?

    Actually, Germany for example is GMT+2 atm due to Daylight Saving Time - so it starts at midnight here.

    On the other hand: I remember live streams in ICC that were only visible to North American people, EU has been left out - little payback for that maybe? ^^

    Gods I wish I was there! Just saw some screenies on the gridstream forums and it looks absolutely spectacular. Good job to everyone at Funcom who had a hand in this!

    http://www.gridstream.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15791

    Anyway I'm tempted to peek in on my lunch hour even though I can only stay a minute. I only hesitate though because I'm afraid I won't be able to convince myself to return to work!

    Oh no! *hugs* I'm so sorry. I think it is worse to not be able to be there because the interwebs have failed you than it is for having to work.

    Its fairly irritating. This isn't exactly something I can fix by firing up my blackberry, like moderating the forums.
